The Underestimated Power of UGC for Your Listings š”
Hey there, Amazon rockstars! Ready for a little secret sauce to boost your listings?
Itās all about User Generated Content (UGC)āand trust me, itās more powerful than you think. š
Hereās the best part: you donāt need fancy equipment or a huge budget. In fact, you can DIY it with the help of friends, family, or even your pets (who doesnāt love a cute dog cameo?). š¶
And no, weāre not talking about paying Influencers here. This is raw, genuine content from real users. Think of it like getting your customers to do the heavy lifting for you. š
70% of consumers trust UGC more than traditional ads.
79% say UGC highly impacts their purchasing decisions.

Hereās why itās a no-brainer
Better Conversions = Higher Rankings: Amazon loves engagement, and more conversions mean better keyword rankings.
Itās FREE: Yes, you heard rightāAmazon doesnāt charge (yet) for these placements.
Prime Real Estate: UGC gets front-and-center visibility on both mobile and desktop.
Keeps Buyers Engaged: The longer potential buyers stay on your listing, the better your chances of conversion. š¹
And remember: if youāre not doing it, your competitors are!
How to Get Started š¬
Donāt worry, creating UGC is easyāand fun! Hereās how you can start:
Grab your phone and film videos like:
Unboxing
How-to tutorials
Different ways to use the product
Before & after transformations
Comparison videos: Show the differences between your product and othersāno need to pick sides! Just say, āI found this great product, but I love this one even more.ā You get the idea!
Upload them to Amazon in these spots:
Upper Carousel: Perfect for product demos. Check out listings like Vital Proteins to see UGC in action!
This listing has 20 videos in the Upper Carousel. Most of them are uploaded by the brand or people who bought it.
When you click on See more videos, The Upper Carousel opens and buyers can scroll through all the videos
Lower Carousel: Encourage your happy buyers to upload their videos too! š
Pro tip: The most impactful videos are the ones uploaded by real buyers! š„šŖ
ā Fact: Anyone can upload a video by hitting the "Upload your video" button below this section.
Pro tip: use keywords in the Title of the Video. Itās a good place to feed Rufus!
QA Section
Heads up: On Amazon, you can answer any question with text and video. When people search for specific info, your videos will be right there, front and center, to give them the answers they need! šÆ
Answer product questions with both text and video for maximum impact. Double the info, double the trust.
Pro Tip: Written answers are your secret weapon for sneaking in those āforbidden keywords,ā brand names, and more to help with indexing! š
Storefront
Our example, Vital Proteins uses a polished video on their storefront. See it here.
On the flip side, ONERVA packs their storefront(and listings) with tons of real, user-generated content that connects with buyers. Check it out.
Proof in practice
Power Tipsā”
Donāt launch a new product without UGC videos! You can even create them from UGC photos by stitching them together into a quick video with some text overlays.
Cut these videos into bite-sized ads for video campaignsātheyāre conversion gold! š
The Power of Micro-Breaks š§āāļø
We all know the grind never stops, but sometimes, the best way to get ahead is to step backājust for a moment. Taking micro-breaks (even as short as 5 minutes) can make a world of difference in your productivity, creativity, and overall mood.
Hereās how to do it:
Set a timer for every hour of work. When it goes off, stand up, stretch, and walk around for 5 minutes.
Change your environment: Step outside for a breath of fresh air or gaze out a window. A quick change in scenery can refresh your mind.
Hydrate: Grab a glass of water or your favorite drink (bonus points if itās pink š).
Micro-breaks arenāt just good for your bodyāthey help your brain reset, making you sharper and more focused when you dive back into work. So, take a little breather and feel the energy shift!
Until next time, keep thriving! š
